Good job ASB.

Knott and Perry at the top and after those two teams the number 3 through 9 spots aren’t much difference. Any of those games would be narrow winning margins.

The only difference I might make is move Leslie up a notch or two. Although they’ve lost 3 games they have lost to good competition in fairly close contest (except the game with Perry Central in the WYMT).

I agree. On another subject, I think at this point, Riverside could probably beat Lee County...
